Genius Q&A
When did Parliament's first album release?
Community Answer
Parliament's first album Osmium released in September 1970.
Parliament (formerly The Parliaments) was a funk group formed by George Clinton in 1968 after a legal dispute with Revilot Records over their original name. Its sister act, Funkadelic, was assembled as a backing band but would eventually take on a larger role, with both groups playing off of and borrowing from one another.
